This is a first step towards "the holodeck". You describe a scene and it exists. Imagine you could jump in and interact with it. That seems like something that could happen in 10-20 years.
"Apple announced that its board had authorized $110 billion in share repurchases, a 22% increase over last year’s $90 billion authorization. It’s the largest in history, ahead of Apple’s previous repurchases, according to data from Birinyi Associates." - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/02/apple-aapl-earnings-report-q...
The % share reduction on a Buyback is relative to the market cap of the company (plus issuance), the absolute number isn't relevant from a return perspective.
$110B is less than 5% of market cap (not including issuance for equity comp)
If "the singularity" is a real thing that can happen, it seems like there is an incentive for species that fear "the singularity" to preemptively wipe out any civilizations they find which seem close to achieving AGI
If "the singularity" is a real thing that can happen
The way you're talking about it, the only way to win is to become "the singularity" yourself.
However, as it's used in mathematics and in the context of exponential growth and accelerating change, it's not a real thing. In math, it's where the math breaks down. In this context, it just describes the point at which standard Homo sapiens can't predict or deal with the speed of change.
How good is error handling on USB 4? The rare times I've had data corruption it was almost always when transferring lots of data using USB (this happened to me on multiple drives, computers, usb ports or cables. this was in the early USB 3 days)
Video's description : "Sep 15, 2023 -- In 2021 the FORCEDENTRY sandbox escape introduced the usage of NSPredicate in an iOS exploit. This new technique allowed attackers to sidestep codesigning, ASLR, and all other mitigations to execute arbitrary code on Apple devices. As a result, Apple put in place new restrictions to make NSPredicate less powerful and less useful for exploits. This presentation will cover new research showing that these added restrictions could be completely circumvented in iOS 16, and how NSPredicates could be exploited to gain code execution in many privileged iOS processes. This technical deep dive will be a rare instance of iOS security that anyone can comprehend without years of experience."
As a kid I always admired AVATAR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Video_Attribute_Termi... ) and wondered why more people didn't use it for art. It was far more efficient. I'd use it wherever I could, and it would feel like my modem got a 2x speed boost. But I'd never seen any BBS software convert ANSI art into AVATAR on the fly...
Also, displaying ANSI with ANSI.SYS was completely unsafe, as there were codes to redefine keyboard input (i.e. turn F1 into Format C:)
